RT Journal Article T1 The Influence of Likes and Sexist Attitudes on Adolescent Self-Esteem in Social Networks A1 Flores Valdés, Yéxica A1 García Rojas, Antonio Daniel A1 Hernando Gómez, Ángel A1 Río Olvera, Francisco Javier del AB The Internet allows teenagers to express their identity through the publication of imagesand texts on social networks, but sometimes they may develop self-esteem problems as a result. Thepresent study analyzed self-esteem levels, and their relationship with sexism, Internet use and theinfluence of likes, in 309 subjects, by asking them about Internet use, social networks, self-esteem andsexism. The results showed low levels of self-esteem, although boys scored higher on the overall scaleand for hostile sexism. Similarly, those with higher percentages of low self-esteem showed higherscores for benevolent sexism. It can be concluded that the use of social networks and the Internet, inrelation to sexist attitudes, influences adolescents’ self-esteem and social construction.
